The Standard says: The taking of
testimony in the contested election case
of Lynch vs.. Vandever will be a big job
as Mr.. Lynch has summoned over hun.
dred witnesses. From reading the state
ments of hoth parties in the case we
believe that Mr.. Lynch has strong case
as matter of law, and if his statement
be true he will have no difficulty in
securing his seat to which we believe he
is Justly entitled. The fact that nearly
200 Democrats were really disfranchised
in Los Angeles by the Clerk failing tc
print their names upon the Great Reg
lister will be the strongest point in the
case, and upon that point we believe the
case will turn.

Cleaned from Our Exchanges In
Southern California.
Our people are up and stirring, and
will show to the world that Cotton leads
the van in producing the finest oranges,
lines and lemons grown on this mum
dane sphere. This is probably the most
severe season for frosts and "cold snaps
that has ever been known in Caiifor mia,
and in the face of this well.known
fact, on the 18th day of March we
propose to make an exhibit of Col.
TONS citrus fruits; no other Sec
tion of glorious California would pre-
sumo for a moment 10 make this an
nouncement, but to show what San Ber.
nardino county can do. Cotton comes
to the front. Our terrace lands know
nor recognize any distinction or differ.
euce between one season and another. as
the years pass by. The citrus fruit of
1887 compares favorably in quality,
quantity and flavor with that of 1856, or
any previous year.
Mr.. John Hust's hall has been secured
as the place to make the Cotton citrus
exhibit, and already the proprietor, who
has kindly donated the hall and thrown
in his services besides, is fixing the hall
for the display.
The fruit.growers are in motion, and
Cotton will make showing on the 18th
day of this month that will be credit
to her and San Bernardino county.
Arrangements have been made with
the railroad companies for round trip
tickets from Los Angeles to the Cotton
Citrus Fair, on the 18th of this month,
for 50 so, other points on the roads at
proportionately less prices. The excur-
sion train will leave Los Angeles at $3.50
o'clock A. M; returning will leave Col.

of fire works and the breaking up of the
dance.-[ Semi Tropic.

THE WHEAT CROP.
Favorable Reports from th
Wheat.GrOWing states.


Chicago, March THE following is
the crop summary to be printed in this
weeks issue Of the Farmers Repiew! !
Thus far reports from the winter wheat
belt indicate that the crop is emerging
from the winter in better shape than
last year. The crop is not assured from
resulting damage of storms and bad
weather, and still has to pass through
critical period, but as a whole the out
look must be regarded as more favorable
than it was in the beginning OF March
of last year. The extremely mild
weather OF the opening days OF last week
was followed by cold weather, causing
some injury in Illinois and in Indiana.
Twenty three Illinois counties this week
report the wheat as looking well, while
in Brown, johnson and White counties
iniury is reported. Thirteen counties in
Indiana make very favorable returns.
In Michigan and Wisconsin the outlook
is reported as very favorable. Nearly
all the Wisconsin fields have had an
ample snow covering since last Novem'
her. The weather has been unfavorable
in Ohio, The season is well advanced
in Missouri and spring plowig has COM
menced. There is no change In the
tenor of the reports from Kansas. Fully
one. half of the counties report very
poor outlook for wheat.

" Buck to BuffalO.n

Yesterday the Typographical Union
of this city had an interesting meeting
for the purpose of electing delegate to
the International Convention to be held
at Buffalo, NY, in June. The position
is one of considerable honor and dis
tinction and is very desirable, aside
from the fact that the local Union pays
the expenses Of the delegate. W. j.

election by handsome majority.

"Making haste slowly" seems to be
the motto of the railroad company.
The road bed has been completed to
this place for several days, but there
seems to be hitch in the work OF lay
ing ties and rails. Last week we were
informed that an ample supply OF the
latter had been received at Newhall to
finish the road into town, and that by
the present date the scream Of the fiery
and untamed iron.horse would be awak.
ening the echoes herabouts. But such
is not the case, the ties and rails are un'
laid for several miles out OF town and we
have not heard any screaming or
screeching yet. We shall not submit
any more prediction on the subject. The
railroad may come in to town now
whenever it feels like it.-[Ventura

The Amende Honorable.

There seems to be little cause for
alarm in the wild reports circulated con.
cerning the alleged prevalence of smalh
pox in Los Angeles. The editor of this
paper spent two days in Los Angeles this
week, and while there investigated this
matter pretty thoroughly and found that
the case had been very much ex-
aggerated. Quite number of cases of
measles were reported and several mild
cases OF varioloid, but no out and out
cases of smallpox. There seems to have
been an attempt made to misrepresent
Los Angeles in this respect by some per-
son or persons who are jealous of the
immense boom that city is now enjoying
in entertaining thousands upon thou
sands of excursionists and Eastern CAPT.
talists. Cotton Semi-Tropic.

DOvvney's Depot Surroum dings.
The Downey Review publishes the fol.
lowing:
Unfortunately the town of Downey is
located upon the very worst portion of
Los Nietos valley. In addition to this
discouraging feature, the railroad COM
pany owns several blocks adjoining
their line between the depot and our
town, which. of course, will remain
unoccupied for some time to come.
The railroad lands happen to be lower
than the adjacent country for mile
or so around, and serves as very
convenient receptacle for all the waste
water the community affords, causing
artificial lakes to stand almost the year
round. The appearance of that portion
of town, we are sorry to say. is anything
but inviting. The view to those passing
on the railroad is not picturesque and is
a standing disgrace to our valley. One.
half mile in any direction from Downey
may be found the finest fruit and farm
ing sections in California, and the mud.
hole around the depot is but burlesque
upon the rich country lying on all sides.
The malarial aspect it wears need not
alarm our visiting friends. There is no
malaria here.
